Wojo locked in until 2022-2023?

[Uncle Rico]

I generally agree with this.  Beat writers like Potrykus and Haudricourt absolutely try to slant their coverage to put the Badgers and Brewers in a better light, and it makes them look like hacks.  Steele is alright.

Agree with others who've said it's a columnist's job to call for coach firings.  I haven't subscribed to the MJS in a while and am not sure if they even have a regular sports columnist anymore.

Disagree on Haudricourt.  He has never been afraid to call out the Brewers and the organziation

[Galway Eagle]

So are we rooting for Notre Dame and Wisconsin next year against us? Because thatll never happen and any so self respecting MU fan who believes they're playing some long game by hoping to get rid of Wojo wouldn't dare hope to lose those two games.

Really? Maybe he's changed but he is the champion of the "the Brewers finances are awful and can't support a $70 million payroll." It seems like he is the Brewers mouthpiece.

Rosiak and Mccalvy are much better.

Time has passed Haudricourt by.

Does anyone actually read a school newspaper.

Scott Walker read it.

The last of the truly critical MJS writers was Bob McGinn who constantly called the Packers on their bullshit.

Silverstein is kind of critical in a soft sort of way.

From ESPN April 6, 2019, Mike Cragg, St John's AD:

"Let me be clear and I said from the start, Coach Mullin is our head coach and we are not looking for another head coach," Cragg said.

April 9, 2019: Mullin resigns

Something similar could be what is going on behind the scenes at Marquette. Let's hope we do not end up with the circus that was on full display when Mullin "resigned". Let's also not be naive.

I was spending the day working with one of my sales reps in DC a number of years ago. Her husband was a Congressman. While we were driving around DC, she asked me about what I had heard about various current political issues. Then, without revealing anything strictly confidential, she said "OK, now here's what's really going on. She then explained the political games being played out in the media (sorry MU 82) and how the stories were carefully constructed for a specific goal.

McGinn was a legend whose pieces were incredibly thorough and bordered on investigative journalism.  He went above and beyond the call of his position and his writing truly felt like it made a difference in terms of keeping the Packers motivated to stay competitive.

That's fair.  He has reported what they've said without ever questioning it about payroll. 

[5DollarPitcher]

Bitcher, have you been paying attention to local media lately?  No one is going to write that story.  You want Ben Steele to do that? 

It just doesn't happen.  Local media will ask hard questions about the professional teams in town and maybe the Badger football team, but even that's doubtful.

What you are complaining about isn't a Marquette issue - it's a media issue.

Can we bump this? We didn't get a full blown hit piece but Steele did his part.

FBM do I get an apology or...?

McGinn still does outstanding work for The Athletic.

Even calling Potrykus a beat writer is generous.  Dude is such an absurd shill. He makes Dodds look fair and balanced

[Herman Cain]

It's not how it works at journalistically sound newspapers.

The local press in North Carolina wrote lots of stories about the issues UNC was having. They still get access.

The local papers covering MSU have always been apologists for various misdeeds for at least 50 years .
